May 28, 2021 Dear Incoming Second Grade Parents and Caregivers, We look forward to seeing you. The enclosed summer packet provides a view of the essential skills for the first quarter of second grade. Please refer to it over the summer months to help your child practice and maintain skills learned in first grade. Additionally, Raz-Kids and IXL will be available throughout the summer. Please encourage your child to visit the sites frequently. He/she can access the sites utilizing the same username and password from first grade. https://www.raz-kids.com/, https://www.ixl.com/signin. Reading: Please refer to the enclosed recommended summer reading list. Students are expected to read a minimum of thirty minutes per day. They should use the enclosed reading logs to document the titles, authors, genres and dates when they finish reading the books. The second grade teachers will collect these logs on the first day of school. In this packet, we have included the first grade (100 words) and second grade (100 words) high frequency word lists. These are the words that occur most often in reading for first and second graders. Students should be able to read and spell the first grade list, as well as be able to recognize and sound out words from the second grade list. During the 2021 – 2022 school year, students will learn how to spell the second grade list. Lastly, enclosed are the reading paired passages (fiction and non-fiction genres) for students to practice reading fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills. Please make sure your child returns the completed units on the first day of school. Writing: Your child is encouraged to write and illustrate a minimum of one entry per week for eight weeks in the enclosed writing journal. The writing should cover multiple genres such as personal narrative, autobiography, informational (non-fiction), fantasy, and fairy tale passages. This will be a valuable assessment tool to drive the instruction for our units of study in writing for second grade. Mathematics: Students are encouraged to review basic math skills with a family member. Research demonstrates that students learn and become proficient by practicing with hands-on, life-like experiences. Please use daily activities to review the following skills: § Find values of coin and bill combinations § Make change § Show penny (P), nickel (N), dime (D) and quarter (Q) for a given amount § Know addition facts sums to 20 § Know “harder” subtraction and addition facts § Construct fact families for addition and subtraction § Devise and use strategies for finding sums and differences of two digit numbers § Subtract multiples of ten
